Chapter 4: Configuring HD OMNI in Pro Tools 27
Changes to the Monitor page are reflected in the
Output options on the Main page in the Hard-
ware Setup dialog, the Output and Bus pages of
the I/O Setup dialog, and in the Output path
names for tracks in your Pro Tools session. Be-
cause of this, you should always configure the
Monitor page first, before configuring the other
pages of the Hardware Setup and the I/O Setup.
MAIN and ALT Control Room Paths
HD OMNI provides two possible Control Room
monitoring paths (CR Path): MAIN and ALT.
Each of these monitoring paths can be set to
None (not used), or to channel formats ranging
from Mono to 7.1.
When configuring MAIN and ALT Control
Room monitoring paths, the path with the wid-
est channel format determines the channel for-
mat of the “Monitor” Output path that appears
both in the Output page of the I/O Setup and in
the Main page of the Hardware Setup. All Out-
put paths used by the Control Room monitoring
path (MAIN and ALT) are otherwise unavailable.
From Pro Tools, track outputs that are routed to
“Monitor” will play out either the MAIN Con-
trol Room path or the ALT Control Room path
depending on the state of the ALT button on the
front panel of HD OMNI. The MAIN Control
Room path is used for monitoring when the ALT
button is disengaged on the front panel of HD
OMNI (the LED is not lit). The ALT Control
Room Path is used for monitoring when the ALT
button is engaged on the front panel of HD
OMNI (the LED is lit).
To assign the MAIN and ALT Control Room paths:
1 In Pro Tools, open the Hardware Setup dialog
(Setup > Hardware Setup) and select the Monitor
tab.
2 Select the channel format from the Format se-
lector for the Control Room Path you want to
create.
3 Place the mouse cursor over the Channel Ma-
trix (the cursor appears as a pencil), and click to
assign Control Room Path monitoring channels
to physical output channels on HD OMNI.
These appear as Output channels for Pro Tools
tracks.
4 If desired, select the Fold Down channel for-
mat from the Fold Down selector.
5 Enable or disable the Fold Down options (see
“Fold Down Options” on page 32).
6 Click OK to save your changes and close the
Hardware Setup dialog.
The Monitor settings are saved on HD OMNI
and apply regardless of whether or not Pro Tools
is running.
To reassign the MAIN and ALT Control Room
paths:
 Click the current Control Room Path moni-
toring channel on the cross-point matrix and
drag it to the new location for the physical out-
put channel assignment you want.
With HD OMNI, Delay Compensation is
not supported on assigned Monitor outputs.
Delay Compensation is only supported on
physical outputs not assigned to a Monitor
path.
